I apply all modifiers, group all the meshes into one, delete the curves to tidy up and give the new model an appropriate name.
LODs range from 0 to 4, 0 being the highest detail.

Now that the rope is made, I copy it into a new file to set it up.

The ropes themselves are made using the screw modifier, then adding a curve modifier to wrap them around.
In the case of low detail models, the curves themselves have circles applied to them as a bevel object.

These are more like the old ones. They're more flexible, easier to animate and are more forgiving when I pose the models in uMotion later on.

This was tedious to build. The curves needed to be tweaked just right to make it fit right.
It looks OK, but her elbows are a bit gibbled when bent at those angles which isn't going to look good in-game. Worse, this is going to be a pain to animate. Her arms need to be in EXACTLY the right spot for it ...

Got the pose on the Secretary ready, now I need to build the rope. I need to get her arms in just the right position, which sadly means I have to gibble her elbows a bit.
